​​

Helena Zappolino is the Executive Director of The Renewed Outlook Foundation. With more than a decade of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, she is licensed across six states and brings a strong commitment to culturally responsive, accessible mental health care.

Helena founded the Foundation to help close gaps in traditional mental health systems and expand access for communities that have long been underserved. As its Clinical Director, her work has already provided more than $60,000 in free and reduced-cost therapy services, directly increasing access for individuals who might otherwise go without care.

She is also a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator and trainer, supporting the relational systems that shape family life. In addition to her foundation work, Helena runs Renewed Outlook Counseling and Solutions, a telehealth practice grounded in the same values of access, equity, and respect.

Helena's multicultural lived experience informs her approach and deepens her understanding of what it means to navigate systems that were not built with everyone in mind. Through her work, she is building programs that meet immediate needs while creating lasting, sustainable impact.
